Mikkeller San Diego Windy Hill New England-style Inda Pale Ale. 7% ABV, 70 IBU, Mikkeller San Diego, San Diego, CA.
Highly hazed, creamy orange color, fine, ivory stands tall atop.
In the nose: vibrant hops at work, floral, fruity, stone and citrus. Nice.
In the mouth: brisk, crisp, with a big bite of bitterness kicking it off. Unstoppable citrus. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish. Quite a tasty little number, this. Not too bitter, not too sweet, just right.
This is my first review of beers from the new Mikkeller San Diego brewery. Maybe it's not so new, but it's new to Minnesota. I've also tried their version of Beer Geek Breakfast, but I didn't bother to take new notes on the can, to compare against the older bottled version from Denmark. Life's too short to keep re-reviewing the same beers, over and over again.
But, just for kicks, here's a pic of the new can design.

I'm trying the beer geek breakfast right now. Damn that's tasty. Rich coffee flavor. The smoke pops. The hops linger ..on the middle of the tongue. Such an amazing grouping of flavor.
